But here what we are going to see is Android the Mobile OS that is ruling the world now. So Android basically is an operating system like windows xp, windows 7, Ubuntu, Fedora and many other.

Android is open source. So developers are all around world are always up to improving the OS for a better performance. So Android always comes up with new and latest features compared to other OS available in the market.

Android project started by an individual and then later bought by Google and now it is developed in a large scale.

Operating system is free and updates are also given out as free. After Google acquired the Android, Google services are also connected with android which enhanced the features and power of the devices.

Google is constantly working on new versions of the Android software. These releases are infrequent; at the moment they normally come out every six months or so, but Google is looking to slow this down to once a year.

Versions usually come with a numerical code and a name that’s so far been themed after sweets and desserts, running in alphabetical order.

Android 1.5 Cupcake

Android 1.6 Donut

Android 2.1 Eclair

Android 2.2 Froyo

Android 2.3 Gingerbread

Android 3.2 Honeycomb

Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich: The first OS to run on smartphones and tablet

Android 4.1 Jelly Bean

Android 4.2 Jelly Bean

Android 4.3 Jelly Bean

Android 4.4 KitKat

Android is developed using a slightly customized JAVA also known as Android. The lower level architecture works on Linux.

Eclipse with ADT plugin and Android Studio are used as tools to develop apps for Android Phones.

Hi Guys, this time I am back with some experience to share. Due to many requests I got from my developer community fans, I have decided to share my Google Play Store Experience…!

As you know Google Play store is the Official Android App Store, where almost all the android users get their apps from.

So in this article I’ll write some points, in the forms of tips, based on my 2 years of experience with Google Play Store, where I have published more than 36 apps, with total of more than 1 Million User Base(apps downloaded more than 1 000 000 times), lost 7 apps, lost 2 of my play store accounts and running my 3rd account.

Hope the qualifications in the above paragraph will urge you to read the article 😉

Good to Know
Creating a Google Play Store account costs you one time payment of 25 USD.
You can publish unlimited apps till 3 of your apps get suspended for violating their privacy policy and BLA BLA things…!
After market get suspended, they will not allow you to start a Google Play app store from the same account. So you have to start another Account.
😀

Tip 1
When you are planning to publish an app for money(Selling an app for money in app store), unless you have a good client info tracking system don’t do it. Because one guy can buy your app, create backup which gives him the apk of your app, which he will publish in the Open Internet for everyone to get it and have it for Free. So always build free apps with Ads, so whatever happens you will still get money out of the ads.

Tip 2
Before you name your app please check if the word you are going to use in your app is allowed in United States of America. Because USA is the number one android market place with more than 75% of the app downloads happen, also they ban apps which has certain words or names. For example if ‘country x’ is in their black list, they block the apps with ‘country x’ in their names. Which will end up in a big loss to your app and expectations.

Tip 3
One of the easiest way to gain lots of download is to use a brand name(example: batman, Spiderman, Google), or a similar name to a popular app that’s available on that season(example: flappy bird, flappy tin man). But be warned that your app will be suspended sooner or later, even without giving you a warning. And there is no way of getting the app online.
Best tip on this will be use the brand name for sometime and replace them with your own after getting enough rating so your app is visible in the search(Not Recommended, you don’t know when they will suspend the app).

Tip 4
Add some relevant and popular tags in the description before publishing the app, it generates some traffic for your sites.
example: And have fun sharing with your friends on social network. #facebook #instagram

Tip 5
When developing an app always try to set the maximum possible min SDK value, so you will get a wide audience which results in increased download rate. Also if possible take screen shots from 7 inch and 10 inch tablets screen shots of your app and add them(There is a specific section for it in the app publication form), so that will enable the app to be downloaded by the tab owners too. Don’t care about the ugly interface when installed to a tab(if it is not designed for tabs ), even you can take a normal phone screen shot and create a tablet sized image with image editing tools.
😀

Tip 6Whenever you publish an app try to get it some 5 star rating with your friend’s help, people think that we are cheating, but the truth is you are actually pushing your app in to the Google play store search a bit so that it gets visible to all the users, so then it is up to the true down loaders to give the real rating for your app.(There are some of the Marketing Strategies I tried and succeeded)
😀

You must understand, publishing apps in the app store is my hobby and not my profession, and I have lots of fun with the play store.

I have written all that came to my mind, this article will be constantly updated.
So tune in…
🙂

Hi guys, this time I’ll write about the new Android Wear, which was announced on last week. So what is it all about?
Android wear, a new OS while already wearable devices are coming with Android as OSs?

Its a new approach by Google to bring a new concept by creating a new development area with targeting only wearable devices.

It’s not a completely new OS, its the same android but made specifically for wearable device software development.

‘Google Says that the Android Extends to Android Wear. Richer Experience for the Wearable devices’ – Official Intro Video

So this time there are 2 types of designs unlike the galaxy gear and smart watch 1 and 2 you can see a circle one and a traditional square screen. As I have heard the square one is going to be manufactured by LG, which has less spec and smaller price tag, where the circle one will be made by Motorola with high specs.

For developers, Android wear SDK developer preview has been released, so you guys can download and try it out. Which will be a great experience in the future when the device is out in the market.

So with the help of the official article I managed to find out that you can do the below shown basic functionality.

It does not mean that you have to learn anything new you also can use the old APIs

‘You can also trigger your notifications contextually using existing Android APIs. For example, use geofences to provide glance able information to your users when they are at home, or use the activity detection APIs to send messages to your users’ wrists while they are bicycling.’

So what are you waiting for register for developer preview, download the sdk and start developing.

Ok in this article we will see how to install Google Glass in your Android phone.
Actually we are installing some apps that are specific(That comes with) to the glass. These apps are taken from the explorer glass system dump(OS).

There are more things you can explore using the System dump but as for now. We will bring the basic functionality of the Google Glass to the Android phone.

Prerequisites – You need a wifi connection to authorize the google account to your glass software. Reason is google glass only has wifi connectivity so its only means to connect to internet is through wifi, so they don’t have data related libraries’ so if you are connected through your data connection it wont work. But if you don’t have a wifi, create a hotspot through a laptop or smartphone and change your data into wifi. But you can try using the data connection and post a comment if it works.

Step3
To simply install, copy these files into the SD Card of your android phone and
click on them and
it will prompt you, from which app to open the file,
select the package installer.
(If this is not the first time you are installing an app in this method you can skip this sline)Then it will ask you to enable the third party app/unknown source app installation,
which you can find in the Settings–> Security
Now you can install the apks.

First of all Instal the following files

glassbrowser-modded.apk

GlassCamera.apk

GlassHangouts.apk

glasshome-modded.apk

glassmaps-modded.apk

glasspeople-modded.apk

glasssetup-modded.apk

GlassSound.apk

glassvoice-modded.apk

Step4
After installing all these apks (Don’t run any of the apps as soon as you install), before opening any app open the ‘Glass Setup’ app which is available now in your app list.
And you will see the following screen.

As usual agree to the agreements and click continue
Add the wifi name and password(You can try using fake name and password).
And click on the Add network

Now you will see this. Screen, in the original glass you can scan the code but in the app we have installed in the phone that feature won’t work. But if you keep the Google Setup app open, automatically the continue button will be enabled, if it did not work, close the app and restart the app and it will get authorized and you are ready open the Google Glass.
😀

Now you will be redirected to your Glass Companion page, here you will see all the glasswares(In google glass apps are called glasswares) you have subscribed, here you can manage them. Or there is an app called glass companion, which I have added in the rar you downloaded now.

This is the Website Glass Companion

This is the Android App

Now you can Open the ‘Glass Home’ App from your App list
And you will See this View

And start the operations by saying the magic word ‘ok glass’And you will see available commands

So this is how the google glass works,
for how to use commands please see my first article on Google Glass

Most of the commands will not work,
Ok glass–> google… will wok and it acts like google now.
Ok glass–>Send a message to will work if you have added contacts from your gmail account in the glass comapnion

Most of the others will not work. But in my next post I’ll write an article on how to make the command ‘take a picture works’, be ready some basic android programing stuff will be there.

Be ready to do some Android Code…!

Download the Whole System Dump from Here

Update (12/3/2014): Now after the GlassSneakPeak GDK is released, now you can develop apps using the GDK and add your own commands easily and can open them using voice commands. I am not sure but if you manage to get the latest XE12 Glass OS or later and install it in the phone it should work. If I have time Ill publish a new post on it.
